Planning Douglas Lake Trip in March/April. Need Info!

[LML67]

I am planning a trip to Douglas Lake in late March/early April. This will be my second time fishing at Douglas. I fished there last year and did great on bluegills. I would like to know where and how to fish for crappie this time of year. I am from Ohio and mainly fish shallow, dirty water. We use small tubes, Charlie Brewers, and ice jigs under a float. What will I need for Douglas crappie? I will be launching at Indian Creek Boat Dock. I fished Indian Creek near the bridge the first time we were at Douglas. I can't go very far from the launch. My boat is an 8' Bass Baby with 30lb. Minn Kota. Any thoughts or suggestions?

you can either troll jigs or cast jigs under a bobber an you should do
real good that time of the year my favorite color of jig for spring is
some shade of blue a lot of it will depend on the weather an water
temps speck chaser fishes indian crk more than i do i think he is
in florida im sure when he gets back he will help you out some

starting late march I start trolling for crappie they should be at the mouth of indian creek just look for the boats I long line troll two 1/16 oz hair flies at a speed of .9 mph using gps. Lowest setting on yours should work. As sinkum said blue is good also chart red head white red head tipped with minnows
i also use long rods 9,10, and 11ft dont give up you will catch fish.
check back when you get ready to go if I am there I would be glad to help
wany way I can.
